getIntrospectionAttributeDefs
Get all possible attribute definitions for all possible resource type and subtypes that can be applied to data source resources during introspection. These attributes definitions are used to help define the attributes used to introspect resources, which are normally set within the plan request element when calling introspectResourcesTask.
The attribute definitions may contain display hints to help assist client tools in displaying appropriate editors for each of the attributes.
Also see getIntrospectionAttributes, which retrieves the attributes applied to the most recent introspection of a particular resource.
